NOLA

A bright yellow façade and huge French door windows hold Emeril Lagasse's creole creations at NOLA. The impressive architecture continues inside, where a second floor balcony gives diner's a view while they dine on the casual-yet-funky restaurant.

Chef de Cuisine Joshua Laskey brings a rustic approach to the creole and acadian menu here, counting local favorites like Shrimp and Grits and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast among the specialties at this French Quarter eatery.
